New York

Intro: verse 1 When my nerve wore down I was assailed by simple little sounds Hammer clangs, sirens in the park Like I never heard New York verse 2 Blaring brakes, trapped trucks Honk and horns, hissing buses stuck Shrieking trains, barreling berserk Like I never heard New York Like I never heard New York Bridge verse 3 When the room grew loud, I learned to stand in back behind the crowd, Dam canals with cork, Like I never heard New York verse 4 But when the walls gave way, I had to flee, I had to back away as the whole town barked, Like I never heard New York Like I never heard New York
